1200 points, damn. Imperial factions on the rebel side, ridiculous! Watching your SSD BATREPs has me hyped for mine. Thanks Crabbok!

Not enough Rebel Ships where's my Favorite Mon Calamari

Like everyone else here, I was blown away in part by the SSD and the massed hammer heads but mainly those tiltable ISD’s. Crabbok your fans need to know where to acquire these!

What a way to start a day. Thank you guys!!!

Really can't wait to try this thing. Looks like it will be a lot of fun in sector battle.

So freaking cool. I wonder if they will ever release a Death Star. That’d be sick.

The Super Star Destroyer looks like so much fun! I can't wait until I eventually get my own!

Looks great, I am hoping to play a big sector fleet battle or two at my local game store when I get my SSD

That thing is so big!

Where can I find those pivot pieces like the ones on a couple of those star destroyers?

Looks like a lot of fun but also a lot to learn

Just enough damage to defeat a ship would be disabling it, but the crew was mostly able to board escape pods?

"on" accident? Jk, hoping to play with SSD for first time this weekend.

What’s on that star destroyer that allows it to bend at the top?

the SSD looks soooo cool

Very fun battle.

Looks great! I can't wait to see the SSD going up against the Bellator

The New Republic did indeed utilize Imperial ships that had surrendered or been captured.

This obviously takes place post endor with a New Republic force of captured imperials and other old rebel ships.

Thanks for the great video! Been thinking about Taking Vader to kill Damage control officer against SSD. Then can do all the fun crits! That ISD that tilts is so cool!

I don’t play Star Wars Armada much but I really like the SSD should I buy one?

Short answer... YES... whenever you can.

We need this Jackie Chan meme here, it so confusing with so many ships and hammerheads :)

I wonder if they’ll add the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser to Armada

Is it just me or does the play area look larger? another damn fine video though, love the uniqueness of the game play.

Do you mind trying an idea for a game mode for me? Since I don’t have an SSD Ok so it goes something along the lines of an Ambush with different phases for reinforcements. The rebels find out about a prototype ssd and send a fleet to destroy it. Both opening fleets start with 600 to 800 points with the Imperials required to have an ssd in the initial deployment. Imperials get 1 reinforcements phase for 500 points while the rebels get 3 for 100-200-300. For initial deployment the imps will get either 700 or 800 while the rebels will get 100 less from that number. Hence the extra hundred in the reinforcements. The Imperials deploy first, and can’t deploy in battle formations and must be atleast 6 inches away from the border of the game on all sides. The rebels can replay in any side they want the 1 stipulation of this is that they can’t deploy directly behind an imperial Ship and can’t deploy within weapons range of the ssd. They can take into account the full extent of Imperial positioning. Now on to how the reinforcements will work, all reinforcement locations must be determined before the game starts and cannot be changed or told to either opponents. I’d write them down to not for get them, enemy reinforcements can arrive behind your ships. You will need 2 six sided dice to determine when you get reinforcements. You can start rolling after 4 turns, rebels will need even number doubles to get reinforcements and Imperials will need odd number doubles. Every 4 turns after reinforcements arrive you can start rolling for reinforcements. Now on to special rules. These will be what makes or breaks a fleet, or atleast that’s the hope. Upon starting the Battle the rebels have a chance to remain hidden depending on what they’ve brought to battle. The Rebels are only allowed 1 large type ship in the initial deployment and can’t get another until the 3rd deployment. Now onto how the Rebels can remain hidden, well with either 600 to 700 points the rebels have an array of different ships they can deploy, each with buffs or debuffs. As mentioned earlier they are able to bring only 1 large ship but if they do all ships and fighters start off spotted. If they bring mediums as their largest ships then only then mediums are spotted. But if they only bring lights and fighters they will remain hidden. The exception is the Pelta I’m not sure if it’s a medium but in deployment phase it’ll count as a Small. How being hidden works, well it’s simple, instead of putting the ship you have deployed on the table you will put its card face down. To be spotted you have to be within weapons range of a ships guns. So long range firing ships will be a plus here. and if you have something to use as a nebula or space junk that’ll have rules as well. For space junk and or Nebula they completely protect the hidden ships, and in case of a nebula the hidden ship can be shot out from. Line of sight will be required to find them. Now to the rebels last rule, they don’t have to spend all their points on the initial deployment and can transfer remaining points to which ever deployment phase they desire but they have to do it before the game starts and must write which phase it is down. Special rules for the imperial initial deployment besides the Ssd they are only allowed mediums and smalls. Imperials must spend all or lose the points they don’t spend altogether.

So this is a big game

This reminds me of Firestorm Armada

Oh wait Italian ? I’m from Italy as well, where were you playing ?!

So, does the SSD feels balanced?

The SSD really is a behemoth. Overwhelming it with small shots seems like the best way to kill it....

Is the Ssd Too Scale With the rest Of the ships It’s A Bummer If Not

Quick armada question for ANYONE... Haven't played in over a year and I'm confused on the Engineering Command. When you spend 2 points to recover a shield, that means a single shield point to a single side right?

What is the name of the game???

That was my thought a few months ago as well. I brainstormed ways of implementing a 3-dimensional mechanic to this involving servos and mechanical arms while I figured I would give the game a try in its 2 dimensional format. Mainly because I had a love for the theme. I can say now that the game is not perfect but the 2-D mechanics are MORE than enough for everyone I have played with. I honestly have not given the 3-D implementation another thought until you mentioned it just now. I think its still a cool idea, but I now feel that I would have far less fun learning how to play it in the third dimension before I mastered the targeting and navigational tactics in 2-D. Navigating an imperial light cruiser in 3D space? Yikes! Give it a shot sir! The Galactic Empire can use more cowbell!
